End of quotation.
I stand corrected (pun intended). However, at macro distances "30 times
their focal lenght" is still very far away, and Olympus has come to the
same conclusion as I did: Reverse only when using higher magnification than
1:1. I'd also like to emphasize that close to 1:1 the orientation of the
lens doesn't matter at all.
Anyone for trying the 50/1.8 at that optimum bellows draw? Only 1500mm (60
inches).
